In the context of the upcoming demonstrations by alliances such as “Querdenker 753” and “Querdenker 711” and the planned counter-demonstrations on the weekend of 3 and 4 October, the University of Konstanz publishes research results and academic contributions to the discussion related to the coronavirus pandemic.
These research results and contributions will be presented in interviews, short presentations in the city of Konstanz and in a panel discussion. The latter will be available online as of Friday, 2 October 2020 at 13:00. (please visit: uni.kn/corona-diskurse-und-orientierung).
From the development of vaccines to the importance of Corona measures for the rule of law through to the question who views which restrictions sceptically: The contributions are from different university departments, and the online panel discussion “Was wir wissen – Diskurse und Orientierung in der Corona-Pandemie” has an interdisciplinary panel, too: Researchers from the fields of law, biology, sociology, contemporary history and psychology will take part in the discussion, which will be moderated by Junior Professor Sebastian Koos, head of the working group Corporate Social Responsibility at the University of Konstanz.
In an interview with our online magazine campus.kn, Professor Sven Reichardt describes the current anti-Corona protests as an expression of a social loss of confidence. Sven Reichardt is a professor of contemporary history at the University of Konstanz and carries out research on social movements and their socio-cultural milieus.
